📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

We are a not-for-profit, non-governmental volunteer organization (NGO) based in Kathmandu, working for marginalized & disadvantaged communities of Nepal. International Volunteering in Nepal is one of the strategies we use to empower rural communities. We have deployed thousands of national and international volunteers in Nepal. The community service volunteer has significantly impacted to achieve our mission.

Our mission is to empower marginalized communities through equitable, inclusive, and holistic development programs.

As one of the responsible community service organizations, our mission is to empower marginalized communities through equitable, inclusive, and holistic development programs. Our volunteer organization welcomes volunteers in Nepal from all over the world to achieve this mission.

Our Approach: We are probably the first volunteering organization offering volunteer opportunities to use a fully holistic approach to community development. We believe education, health & environment, economy, and basic infrastructure are the major pillars of community development. Our community programs support these development pillars. Hence, we focus equally on all four development pillars while implementing our projects. We have designed all our International Volunteering in Nepal projects based on these four pillars of development.

💼 What the programme involves

Participate in a project which aims to reduce Nepal’s dependence on the more demanding and less profitable traditional terrace farming in exchange for agro- forestry farming. This is a form of land cultivation where crops are grown among trees. It provides a greater biodiversity and greater harvests. This is your chance to help ease traditional subsistence farmers onto new methods which greatly improves the quality of their lives. You will be placed in the project living quarters. Daily Activities • Work under skilled Nepali farmers’ instructions, cultivating land and engaging in agroforestry. • Help maintain the living quarters and surroundings. • Carry out research activities. • Teach techniques of agroforestry (for experts in agriculture).
